Betsy

Mixed Breed · Female · Kitten · 2 months

A beautiful, affectionate little sweetheart looking for a very special foster-to-adopt home. Betsy is a wonderful, loving, sweet, typical playful kitten. At 10 weeks old, she’s full of affection and a gentle sparkle that makes her so easy to adore. Unfortunately, she’s had a little hiccup in her journey whilst being spayed, meaning she’s looking for a foster home with a view to adopt, allowing her to settle into a loving family environment while her health is monitored for the time being. Betsy recently went in for her routine spay procedure. While she did beautifully, the vet discovered more clear abdominal fluid than would normally be expected. She is currently incredibly bright, completely normal in herself and has since been thoroughly wormed, but at this early stage, we simply do not yet know what this fluid might mean for her future. FIP cannot be ruled in or out and unfortunately it’s not a condition with straightforward testing and needs monitoring, though newer treatments do exist. Following our vet's advice, we believe in being completely open and transparent with anyone considering welcoming this special girl into their life. A joyful 10-week-old female kitten

About Betsy

What life with Betsy looks like

Betsy is a medium-sized puppy/kitten mixed breed cat waiting at Hay Animal Rescue Team in United Kingdom.

Kittens are tiny chaos engines for about six months and then mellow rapidly. They need two scheduled feedings, a litter box per cat plus one extra, and somewhere high to climb. Spay/neuter happens around six months — most shelters arrange this before adoption.

🇬🇧Adopting from United Kingdom

UK shelters work under the Pet Travel Scheme (post-Brexit, the EU pet passport is not valid; a UK Animal Health Certificate is required for travel into the EU). Most UK rescues focus on domestic placements but some work with EU partners.

Frequently asked

Adopting Betsy, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Betsy?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Hay Animal Rescue Team handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Betsy on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Betsy if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Hay Animal Rescue Team will tell you what they need (EU pet passport, rabies titer, transport coordination) and whether they handle transport themselves or refer you to a partner. UK adopters: post-Brexit travel into the EU requires an Animal Health Certificate. Plan for an extra €100–€350 in transport costs depending on distance.
Is Betsy already vetted, vaccinated, and chipped?
Most cats on TailHarbor leave their shelter with sterilization, current vaccinations, microchip ID, and an EU pet passport included in the adoption fee. The vet status on this page reflects what the shelter has reported — ask them directly if you need details on specific vaccines, recent bloodwork, or chronic conditions.
What happens if Betsy isn't the right fit?
Every reputable rescue accepts an animal back if the adoption genuinely doesn't work — that's part of the standard contract. Talk it through with Hay Animal Rescue Team early rather than rehoming privately; they know Betsy and can place them more successfully than a second-hand listing can.
Why does the description sometimes read awkwardly?
TailHarbor translates shelter descriptions into English from the source language (EN). Translation is imperfect — names of streets, donors, and shelter-specific terms occasionally slip through unidiomatically. For the cleanest read, click the source link to see the shelter's original page.
